ABOUT US

Serving Greatness Since 2006

01

OUR STORY

The name “Nan Xiang” pays homage to the canal-lined ancient town just outside of Shanghai, where Xiao Long Bao, literally translated to “Little Steamer Dumplings” are originated. Centuries later, when Chinese diners think of Shanghainese food, they think of Nan Xiang soup dumplings. We want to recreate the most memorable flavors of Shanghai and share them with you.

“Express” gives this culinary tradition a new life, by making it more modern, more convenient, and even more accessible to the many, without compromising the quality.
